Not for me

I had this unit for only one day and returned it so it is difficult to review. I purchased online and did not examine one first - bad idea. Several things disappointed me ( size too big, too many apps I would never use, touch screen action) but the killer was that the maps I wanted to use disappeared when no Wi-Fi signal was available. Lesson learned - check things out thoroughly before buying.
This item is fine, but when I wanted to write a review on my new blue ray, I could not. Also, when I attempted to load the updated firmware for the new blue ray (BD-F5700), I could not open the zipped file. Samsung needs to make such things easier to do; i.e. don't put it in a zip file we can't open.
I bought the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 in March 2014 from Best Buy. I chose this tablet over an iPad or iPad mini for a couple reasons. First, I intend to buy a smart phone soon and I want the two to be able to share information easily, and iPhones are out of my price range. Second, I really like the Android system and app store. Most people I talked to said Google play store had more apps than apple. Also, my use for this tablet would require me to use some sort of office suite, which was available through the play store. I really like the power this tablet has. The screen is crystal clear and every bit as good or better than a retina display. I have an SD card slot, which is not possible with an iPad. My pictures and documents seamlessly sync to Google photos or drive. Everything just works very well with this tablet. My only disappointment is that it appears Samsung has already discontinued the model since the Galaxy Tab S has been made available. It has been very difficult finding accessories for this tablet. Highly recommended. .... if you can still find one.
